Yesterday (Saturday, May 4), Ms. Lauryn Hill released “Neurotic Society (Cumpulsory Mix).” Along with the track, Ms. Hill released a statement, explaining that she was “required” to release the song “immediately.”
“Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline,” she wrote on her Tumblr page. “I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there.”
Lauryn Hill’s legal deadline refers to tax problems she has been facing. As reported in late April, Hill was given two weeks to repay tax debt. Her new deadline became May 6.
Hill’s displeasure with the circumstances surrounding this song’s release also had to do with the death of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly.
“In light of Wednesday’s tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly). I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!”
Since the news about her tax woes originally broke, Hill signed a deal with Sony to release new music. “Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released,” she said in a statement in late April. “And yes, I am working on new music.”

YMCMB ALLOWS ARTISTS AS MUCH TIME AS THEY NEED!! THATS CALLED CREATIVITY!!
YESSIR, always around for a good trolling laugh. Nobody could actually like the trash that is YMCMB that much. I thank you for continuing to be a source of amusement for the DX community.
THIS AINT TROLLING!! THIS IS TRUTH!! YMCMB ARTISTS GET AS MUCH TIME AS THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR ALBUMS PERFECT!! THAT IS CALLED CREATIVITY!!
You’re wrong. YMCMB always rush their artists to release their albums, which are never perfect. That ain’t creativity; that’s uncreativity.
why would i want to listen to music from an artist that is just playing along to pay bills that said artist thinks they are not responsible for paying. all this bitter angry society is whats wrong bull shit just degrades her legacy. take responsibility for your own life and stop blaming the system. forced music sucks so stop saying the devil made you do it.
the real MC is back though the beats are to sonic and bad but the msg got thru #THUGLIFE
What a dumb broad. The only reason she is not in prison is Sony and she’s acting like a diva cunt.
Stupid azz ho, get cancer soon please.

Man i dont know what kind of dope yall smoking but yall need to stay off that bullshit this woman went the FUCK OFF!!!!!
the greatest female mc of all time. fact!!!
fuck that “female” shit, she’s one of the best rappers period.
Lauryn Hill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2Pac, Jay-Z, Biggie
Rah Digga would son her!
Having less than 5 Rap songs to her name does not make you the greatest female mc of all time.
She could have gotten a better beat from premier. I’m sure it wouldnt have been hard for her to get a better beat. that beat was sack. smh!
Man, she’s off her rocker lol
female Andre 3000 got damn!!!!!!!!!!
PAY YOUR TAXES YOU UGLY IRRELEVENT BITCH THAT COULD NEVER GET ON NICKIS LEVEL

Both of you are fucking idiots. Nicki will never be on Lauryn’s level, which is above Nicki.

Both of you are racist whores.
Nicki would ether this bitch son, nickis words would be hollow points going at this has been
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Good joke. Nicki can’t ether anyone. Lauryn would destroy that stupid hoe.
hahahahahahaha this is the most ridiculous comment ive heard in awhile…when you say that i guarentee you have never listened to the score by the fugees..by far the best rapping by a female in hip hop history….oh yea, and she also has a solo album that is a classic..Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is in any real hip hop fans top 25 albums of all time
fuck this crackhead looking slut
You’re the crackhead looking slut.
what a bald bitch
You’re the bald bitch.
racist bimbo
You’re the racist.
“Hill’s displeasure with the circumstances surrounding this song’s release also had to do with the death of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly”
The release of this song killed Daddy Mac?
scarface and this bitch would make a good couple two racist ugly bitches that complain all day.
fuckin kike honkey wanna be
yup 2 black monkey cunts
Both Anonynmouses 1 and 3 are fucking idiots. You’re the racist, ugly bitches that complain all day.
LMAO racist? Why?? Cause he said the truth about Hip Hop?!?! LOL even a Grand Wizard would call you retarded for that
albino … go back to the trailer park
Didn’t this broad sell like 17 million copies off of one album??? LOL and still she’s having all these problems
she has a positive message except the whole being a racist thing
Unlike Eminem… Lauryn isnt racist.
She is however, a better lyricist than ur fav
i love how some guy is replying to every comment that says something negative about her.
she’s racist, and not because of what she said about the music industry.. thats just scratching the surface. but if you listen to her she’s clearly a racist. outside of that she has a positive message and makes real hip hop though
how you sell millions and millions of albums, and have tax problems? obama ruined the economy and taxes are higher but damn, cmon now..
although i do believe some of what u say but u cant just blame “obama” honestly this country started to go in the shit hole LONG before that nigga was born…Its too bad things cant change with racism, It can but every one has to work together and most people can even do that…
What are you talking about ? What did she say about the industry that was racist?? SOURCE UR COMMENT. YOU CANNOT SOURCE IT B/C SHE NEVER SAID IT.
The internet had the same rumor at the time about Tommy Hilfigur and some black people believed that rumor that he said something racist but he never did.
Howard Stern made up a rumor… eminem repeated it in his lyrics and his dumb fans believed the internet rumor he was spreading…
well Eminem called his ex black girlfriend a racist slur so get upset with Eminem and call him a racist first.
Stop lying about Lauryn… you have nothin to back up ur lies but internet rumors… no actual interview to source tho cuz she NEVER said it and you know it.
I’ll forever blame Wyclef Jean for fucking with this woman’s mind.
why do you guys hating so much? yea, she has tax problems but i bet she still has more money then every person that left a negative comment combined………im just happy shes releasing new music, she is my favorite voice in all of music…just behind her is nina simone,otis redding, sam cooke, and aretha (yea, shes the only one that can rap out of those 5)
who cares if shes racist ( even though none of you guys really know if she is). she has one of the most beautiful voices in the world…literally the only connection any of us have with her is through music. why do people have to be all up in other peoples business and shit. fuck TMZ and everything that is associated with that type of bullshit
Lauryn Hill is easily one of the top 5 lyricists alive ……. but this beat is not working. INCEDIBLE LYRICIST THOUGH…
better than Eminem & Jay Z… the female NAS.
Anyway, for all the racist Howard Stern fans that are repeating the rumor she said something about white people in her MTV interview with Carson Daily…. STOP LYING!!
haters…. Carson/MTV released the transcript … that BIGOT Eminem and that BIGOT Howard Stern lied about her…
her mgr was white at the time.. she didnt say nothin about trailer trash. lol …. stop lying……. Eminem and Stern are the REAL BIGOTS…
if some of you guys are hating on lauryn, just spark up a blunt and listen to the score by the fugees without skipping any songs….not a bad song, not a bad verse, not a bad beat…in my top 5 hip hop albums of all time…….1). Ezlhi- The Preface, 2) jay-z reasonable doubt, 3). Fugees- The Score, 4) Thug Life: Vol. 1 (2pac)..and 5) Beats Rhymes and Life -Tribe called Quest…..maybe not your top 5 but thats mine, possibly because it brings back a lot of memories when i listened to these albums religiously…Im only 20 so its not like i was into these when they first came, but im also not the kind of dude that will complain that this song is too old like my generation does constantly..good music is good music, doesnt matter if its from 2013 or 1913
STFU old azz nigga pretending to be young, LOL.
“Im only 20”
C’mon dude, more like 40.
Don’t hate on the man because he listens to real shit. Good music has no age. Only this new trendy homo rap is age specific.
just went to another site to read lyrics… Lauryn is a LYRICAL BEAST. She is the top lyricist right now.
But the production seems unmastered. She needs Pharell or Kanye to produce her since Kanye wants to work with her anyway.
HaHaha. I just scrolled down the comments and noticed theres a very sad,sad individual replying to every negative comment about poor OLD lauren. It doesnt seem like they have much of a brain tho, as there only comeback is to repeat what the origanal poster said to them.
Do us all a favour and hang yoself fag, Lauren is a dumb crack ho, gutta slut who’s so smart that she cant even pay her taxes or her rent and she’s married to a bum.
Your just gonna have to live with the fact that not everybody thinks this old ugly azz bitch is GOD and nobody wants to hear a rushed album she’s putting out just to pay for her idiocy.

Completly true about the buthurt fan(stan)
The best one I keep seeing is anybody who is critical of someone on this site is called a “hater” just because they dont agree with the stan. LOL.
Ignorant and lazy analysis. Her financial business has nothing to do with her intelligence or artistic ability. If you don’t dig her shit, cool. If it’s too complex for you, cool. But calling her out her name simply because you don’t feel her shit is corny.
^^^^^^ This is exactly what the first poster is talking about, a buthurt obsessed fan running to the rescue after somebody says something negative about their idol, lol.
He wasn’t trying to give any kind of analysis, all he did was point out some FACTS.
The way some people talk about celebrities its as if they are imperfect, without any kind of flaws lol, wake up.
Lauryn Hill is GREATER than that TRAILER TRASH drug addict Marshall Mathews…
she should start a group with scarface and dead prez and call it Honkie Killaz
Or better yet, The Bargain Bin Bunch.
